We’ve created this course especially for bloggers, to teach you how to use Elementor to create and manage a full, beautifully designed blogging website.

Together, we’ll create a website and blog called Xander Travels, authored by blogger Xander Banks , a former accountant turned digital nomad, who began photographing and writing about his lifestyle after leaving his 9-5 job to travel. He focuses on combining travel while making a living, and writes to inspire others to follow their passion.

And while this blog focuses on photography and travel, you can use the knowledge and techniques you’ll learn here for any type of blog. Follow along, and apply your own style, content, and images, to fit your website.

All you’ll need to get started is:
A WordPress website,
Both the core and Pro versions of the Elementor Website Builder plugin,
and the Elementor Hello theme installed on your WordPress website.

I also suggest using a clean installation of WordPress.

If you don’t yet have a WordPress website, Elementor or Hello installed, see the links in the description to get set up for this course.
We’ll design this blogging website, complete with Home, About, and Contact pages, styled blog posts, a 404 page, and even a “link in bio” landing page. We’ll also customize our site’s header with a popup navigation menu. And we’ll learn lots of other tips and tricks along the way, including blogging best practices and ways to streamline your workflow
